Killer Klowns: Oh, man was this fun. The ‘Parade of Horror’ bit always leaves me rollin’ in the aisles.
Night of the Creeps: Yep, this one’s a good no-brainer. Sam, you ever catch the ‘alternate’ ending to this one? I’d only ever seen the cable (original?) release, until the flick ran on a network station’s Late Late Movie one night, and I was surprised to see it wind up differently. Well, slightly, anyway.
Tremors: The chemistry of Bacon and Ward is the best part of this one, especially the cigarette goof, in the beginning of the movie. You can see them looking at each other, and trying not to laugh, when the crumpled pack refuses to give up a butt, nearly forcing them to reshoot the entire 5 (or maybe it was only 3?) minute continuous shot. The second one was pretty fun, too, actually. Still haven’t tracked down the direct to video 3rd installment, though.
Which leads me to
Eight Legged Freaks: While it don’t quite stand up to the previous film, it was still pretty enjoyable. Ten minutes in, and there’s spiders on the loose! If’n ya haven’t seen this one yet, catch it in a theater; simple summer-movie popcorn flick.
Murder by Death: A lampoon of the noir detective flicks. The bit with the possibly dead butler (Alec Guinness!) and his clothes is worth the rental.
Robot Jox: The first flick I’d ever seen with piloted giant robots. I discovered this one while I was pretty heavily into BattleTech (the tabletop version, before the PC games started rolling out.)
[sub]Thanks, Sam Hell, now I’ve gotta go find that tape with Creeps on it… I’m pretty sure it’s on the one with the Rowdy Roddy flick…[/sub]
